JR. I live on a creek, or by it I should say. I got bit by a Brown Recluse spider some 10 or so years ago. I keep 4 or 5 big Camel crickets in my house, you rarely see them. And they love to eat spiders.My friends think it is crazy, but I can not get quite brave enough to let a male Tarantula run loose in here. Tom. I think I would have a heart attack if I woke up and a giant spider was in bed with me. LOL.

Where do you get Camel Crickets, Tom? Do they require any care other than a ready source of food. I have a family home that I get to visit very infrequently and I need some way to keep the spider population down. So far I have found that hedgeapples (Osage Orange) work very well, but this next year it will be over 15 months between visits and I can't expect them to last that long.
